Get your Geyser Timings first off!

fol-de-re23 contributionsUnited KingdomSep 9, 2015

There is a lot to see here - pack your picnic and plenty of water, get your geyser timings sorted out first off and be prepared to be patient! We actually managed to lose our car here the car parks are so big - so remember where you left it!

I would recommend visiting Yellowstone to everyone. It is a beautiful place with so many things to see - things I have never seen in my life.

Nice

Old Faithful is amazing - everyone should try to see it. I was very impressed by the Ranger who gave the talk on the boardwalk while we were waiting for the geyser. She was knowledgable and funny and kept us engaged while we were sitting on cold benches staring at a smoking hole in the ground. The visitors' center is very helpful, and the rangers are top-notch.

Awesome!

Loved watching this geyser erupt. You can even call the visitor center to check time of the eruptions so you can max out your time elsewhere.

Chemistry + geology + beauty combination

July 6 Yellowstone

Steams coming out from earth in every direction we see. Watching old faithful geyser shoot 40-50 ft into the sky was enthralling experience.

What was really bemusing was how the walking wooden track was built around various geysers, giving a perfect way for tourists to witness the natural wonder. Hats off to the US national park service.

Smelling sulphurous steams was a great memorable experience &amp; reminded of school classroom chemistry lab!

Different colors of rock looked great as well.

We were to have witnessed it erupt under fine conditions as shortly after it began raining. And rain changed the look of the scenery.

Overall, it was a really satisfying experience to witness top of a mountain range, with walking on a footbridge above the river. It all looked what we used to have been seeing in desktop wallpapers. 1st time experienced it.

That's It?

We waited for 45 minutes and still didn't get a bench seat. This was very anti-climatic but still think everyone should see it once.

Worth the trip. While waiting for Old Faithful to go off, we were entertained by the Beehive Geyser erupting.

Waste of time

j.boyd3 contributionsXenia, United StatesOct 6, 2011

I know that it is a huge point of interest, but honestly there are other gysers in the area that knock Old Faithful out of the park. I was glad that I didnt stand there and wait an hour like most of the other tourists. If you have enough time, make sure to walk around the area and experaince the other gysers, and the hotel....that will make it worth your time.

If so you will remember I mentioned a cunning plan to solve the problem of all that driving for Kevin when exploring Yellowstone. Well, my solution was to Glamp ... I know that a few of you may know or guess what Glamp / Glamping is, but for those of you with no idea - it's short for …

Day 14: Last night, Riche and I were sitting on our Frontier Cabin porch after putting the kids to bed and a little mouse ran right under me. I jumped up and ran for the door. That ended my day, well kind of. In the middle of the night, I awoke with thoughts that mice were all in our Frontier Cabin and it was very hard to get back to sleep. I …

Yellowstone is very close to Grand Tetons. We got into the park and almost immediately there was a slow down due to traffic. People just pull over on the left and the right of the road whenever ANY wildlife presents themselves. The first animal sighting was ELK. A bunch of elk, females and their calves running around, We will refer to Ben for this …

Well today was much more enjoyable on all fronts - the weather was delightful and sunny; I'm starting to feel much better; and Yellowstone is just breathtakingly beautiful. Yellowstone National Park was America's first national park and contains two thirds of the world's geysers. There is so much to see, they reckon you could spend all summer here …

The drive though the valley , with the Yellowstone river following the road is gorgeous . We had spent the previous night at Yellowstone's Edge RV park, in order to do laundry and stock up etc. it was one of the squeakiest clean places we've stayed in, immaculate showers!

Realized today that the Yellowstone National Park will be closed from tomorrow onwards except the north side. We rush to reach there by noon and managed to do it. We went in from the west. Managed to see the famous Old Faithful and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone . We saw a few other geysers too. The scenery in yellowstone is awesome, especially …

One of the compromises we made in order to get everything done we needed to do Sunday, was to postpone going to church until Monday morning at 8:00 am. We all got up for church and got to Our Lady of the Mountains on time. The church was beautiful, newer and built in what we assume is the town approved style with cedar, wood and stone. The service …
